I can certainly agree with that. I've seen it happen several times. Most
all the modems I have around here use 9V AC wall-warts too. Some use DC or

I think I am going to dig out the modem it goes
to, and test the voltage
with it hooked to that. That will at least give it real use load (the
modem powers up just fine, it just fails to respond to all AT commands
except for getting the firmware, and it won't attempt to go off hook or
dial... I'm not 100% convinced the modem is really "dead" so much as it
just doesn't want to co-operate).
Hey, you know what? I missed the beginning of this thread, but this is
exactly the sort of behavior you get from a modem which requires a 9V
AC power supply, when you run it with a 9V _DC_ supply.
